Expert Solution
Introduction

Animals undergoes sexual and asexual reproduction in order to give birth to offsprings. Asexual reproduction is a process in which organisms produce genetically identical offsprings. There are different types of asexual reproduction such as binary fission, budding, fragmentation, sporogenesis and vegetative propagation. 

Sexual reproduction is a process in which two organisms of different sex combines and exchange genetic material in order to produce offsprings. Sexual reproduction takes place through a process called meiosis in which the sperm of a male organism fuses with the egg of a female organism.
